Bestiary of Cidri

Probably not going to be a huge number of additional entries beyond what is already in ITL. Instead, each entry will be expanded with more information. I plan to start out by standardizing each entry (right now, stats aren't always in the same order, they may be spread out, or given at the beginning or end). There will be a section for general information that describes things like what it looks like, special abilities, and any other game info about the creature. There will be a section on habitat, that describes where one would find the creature, and what type of environment it prefers. There will be a section on predators, parasites and pathogens, that describes what might prey on the creature, what its natural enemies might be, what diseases it might carry and such. Finally, there will be a section that describes the creature's relationship with humans, if there are any body parts that are usable in potions or magic, and whether the creature can be bargained with, made a pet of, or anything else.

So, ultimately, the idea is to flesh out all the entries with more background and useful info to spark campaign or adventure ideas, and to make encounters more lively or realistic.
